I read this not expecting the ending–nice job! It reminded me of a funny moment last week as I was being fitted for hearing aids. I was nervous and clumsy as I was shown the devices, then given a mirror to hold as they were placed on my ears. The tech guy continued to talk and work on the computer synchronizations at another desk, while I continued to hold the mirror, transfixed by my own image. Whole minutes went by before I realized I was just sitting there, looking at myself! Imagine!
Thank you for this article . It’s humanity and warm
Thank you so much, Maria. This was a fun one to remember.

Narcissus visits us in many guises. :)
Your priceless gift was so simple and so profound. These well-narrated reflections also bring silent contemplation by this reader.
I enjoy this latest memoir chapter, Ted.
Thank you, Alan — always appreciate hearing from you when things resonate.
